When I bought hull #448 2 years ago, the surveyor mapped out a wet area in the hull on the starboard side, about 3 feet in front of the keel to about 3 feet behind the keel. Higher moisture readings near the keel and tapering off to dry about 3 feet away from the keel. Readings around the engine water intake and anchor drain not very high. There were a few small blisters in the area. A small core sample from the inside showed slight moisture and no indication of rot.
Now that the season is winding down I am thinking about fixing this problem. I have searched the archives here and have read where a few folks have discussed this problem some, but am hoping to get some more up to date information.
Questions;
1) Where is the water coming from?
2) What is the best process for drying?
